Thor Drake of See See Motorcycles has unveiled a new custom based on the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 at The One Motorcycle Show in the US. Called the Reload 650, the motorcycle follows last year’s Shotgun 650-based custom showcased by Winston Yeh’s Rough Crafts at the same event in a similar colour scheme. However, this latest build takes a much more radical approach. Built by Thor Drake of See See Motorcycles Rear section and solo-seat setup are reminiscent of 1980s bikes Royal Enfield Reload 650 Based on the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 The Reload 650 draws inspiration from 1980s AMA racing motorcycles, a fitting direction considering that Drake himself was the 1998 AMA 250GP road-racing national champion.

Norton Manx R review: TVS brings Norton back with a bang!

-
Image
It’s a brave and difficult move to completely reimagine a troubled yet beloved century-old brand, but that is exactly what TVS has done with Norton. I was in the room when the bike was first shown to the world late last year, and I recall sharing the surprised and rather reserved response that was expressed by many in attendance. After all, the reborn Nortons were nothing like anything we expected, and instead of leaning on the past legacy, the new models leapt firmly into the future. Norton Manx R design and quality - 9/10 A clean, minimal and beautiful design with some refined touches In the months that have followed, I’ve really grown to like the way the Manx R looks in images online, and this was cemented after having spent a day with the bike. This is a clean, suave and genuinely beautiful motorcycle. The more you absorb it in person, the more you’ll notice the subtle yet sophisticated surface treatments, and the tail-lamp is a unique design signature. The lack of aggressive aero...
